Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob,
the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter,
makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit.
Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the
tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a
virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well,
which is what allows over-subscription.
EEVDF has two parameters:
- weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before
- request size, or slice length: which is used to compute
the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i
Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier
and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier.
Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while
wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline.
Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the
selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a
problem.

In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need
to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler.
Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based
scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the
individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment).
As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal
scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task
behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant.
Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in
this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the
ideal scheduler would of course never do.

We currently export the total throttled time for cgroups that are given
a bandwidth limit. This patch extends this accounting to also account
the total time that each children cgroup has been throttled.
This is useful to understand the degree to which children have been
affected by the throttling control. Children which are not runnable
during the entire throttled period, for example, will not show any
self-throttling time during this period.
Expose this in a new interface, 'cpu.stat.local', which is similar to
how non-hierarchical events are accounted in 'memory.events.local'.

After commit 8ad075c2eb1f ("sched: Async unthrottling for cfs
bandwidth"), we may update the rq clock multiple times in the loop of
__cfsb_csd_unthrottle().
A prior (although less common) instance of this problem exists in
unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs().
Cure both by ensuring update_rq_clock() is called before the loop and
setting RQCF_ACT_SKIP during the loop, to supress further updates.
The alternative would be pulling update_rq_clock() out of
unthrottle_cfs_rq(), but that gives an even bigger mess.

According to the GRUB[1] rule, the runtime is depreciated as:
"dq = -max{u, (1 - Uinact - Uextra)} dt" (1)
To guarantee that deadline tasks doesn't starve lower class tasks,
we do not allocate the full bandwidth of the cpu to deadline tasks.
Maximum bandwidth usable by deadline tasks is denoted by "Umax".
Considering Umax, equation (1) becomes:
"dq = -(max{u, (Umax - Uinact - Uextra)} / Umax) dt" (2)
Current implementation has a minor bug in equation (2), which this
patch fixes.
The reclamation logic is verified by a sample program which creates
multiple deadline threads and observing their utilization. The tests
were run on an isolated cpu(isolcpus=3) on a 4 cpu system.

The responsiveness of the Per Entity Load Tracking (PELT) util_avg in
mobile devices is still considered too low for utilization changes
during task ramp-up.
In Android this manifests in the fact that the first frames of a UI
activity are very prone to be jankframes (a frame which doesn't meet
the required frame rendering time, e.g. 16ms@60Hz) since the CPU
frequency is normally low at this point and has to ramp up quickly.
The beginning of an UI activity is also characterized by the occurrence
of CPU contention, especially on little CPUs. Current little CPUs can
have an original CPU capacity of only ~ 150 which means that the actual
CPU capacity at lower frequency can even be much smaller.
Schedutil maps CPU util_avg into CPU frequency request via:
util = effective_cpu_util(..., cpu_util_cfs(cpu), ...) ->
util = map_util_perf(util) -> freq = map_util_freq(util, ...)
CPU contention for CFS tasks can be detected by 'CPU runnable > CPU
utililization' in cpu_util_cfs_boost() -> cpu_util(..., boost = 1).
Schedutil uses 'runnable boosting' by calling cpu_util_cfs_boost().
To be in sync with schedutil's CPU frequency selection, Energy Aware
Scheduling (EAS) also calls cpu_util(..., boost = 1) during max util
detection.
Moreover, 'runnable boosting' is also used in load-balance for busiest
CPU selection when the migration type is 'migrate_util', i.e. only at
sched domains which don't have the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set.

While moving a set of tasks between exclusive cpusets,
cpuset_can_attach() -> task_can_attach() calls dl_cpu_busy(..., p) for
DL BW overflow checking and per-task DL BW allocation on the destination
root_domain for the DL tasks in this set.
This approach has the issue of not freeing already allocated DL BW in
the following error cases:
(1) The set of tasks includes multiple DL tasks and DL BW overflow
checking fails for one of the subsequent DL tasks.
(2) Another controller next to the cpuset controller which is attached
to the same cgroup fails in its can_attach().
To address this problem rework dl_cpu_busy():
(1) Split it into dl_bw_check_overflow() & dl_bw_alloc() and add a
dedicated dl_bw_free().
(2) dl_bw_alloc() & dl_bw_free() take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter instead of
a `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows to
allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rather than only for a single
task.

Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.
Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.
Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.
Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.
Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.
Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency
ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range,
and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively
running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than
cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched
affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close
to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu
data structures.
This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field.
The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed
by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures
efficiently in the following situations:
- Single-threaded applications,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited
cpu affinity mask,
- Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with
restricted cgroup cpuset per container.
One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead
associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the
scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is
implemented.
On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map,
transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This
takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between
threads belonging to the same memory map.
Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when
context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end
up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch
though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to
justify the added complexity.
The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id
idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul
Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement
scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The
rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension
internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has
comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system
call [1].
The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to
the scheduler context switch by this feature:
* perf bench sched messaging (process)
Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms
With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms
* perf bench sched messaging (threaded)
Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms

CFS bandwidth currently distributes new runtime and unthrottles cfs_rq's
inline in an hrtimer callback. Runtime distribution is a per-cpu

is required. On machines with a large number of cpus and large cgroup

hrtimer callback: since IRQ are disabled, hard lockups may easily occur.
Specifically, we've found this scalability issue on configurations with
256 cpus, O(1000) cgroups in the hierarchy being throttled, and high
memory bandwidth usage.
To fix this, we can instead unthrottle cfs_rq's asynchronously via a
CSD. Each cpu is responsible for unthrottling itself, thus sharding the
total work more fairly across the system, and avoiding hard lockups.

It was found that the user requested affinity via sched_setaffinity()
can be easily overwritten by other kernel subsystems without an easy way
to reset it back to what the user requested. For example, any change
to the current cpuset hierarchy may reset the cpumask of the tasks in
the affected cpusets to the default cpuset value even if those tasks
have pre-existing user requested affinity. That is especially easy to
trigger under a cgroup v2 environment where writing "+cpuset" to the
root cgroup's cgroup.subtree_control file will reset the cpus affinity
of all the processes in the system.
That is problematic in a nohz_full environment where the tasks running
in the nohz_full CPUs usually have their cpus affinity explicitly set
and will behave incorrectly if cpus affinity changes.
Fix this problem by looking at user_cpus_ptr in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
and use it to restrcit the given cpumask unless there is no overlap. In
that case, it will fallback to the given one. The SCA_USER flag is
reused to indicate intent to set user_cpus_ptr and so user_cpus_ptr
masking should be skipped. In addition, masking should also be skipped
if any of the SCA_MIGRATE_* flag is set.
All callers of set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will be affected by this change.
A scratch cpumask is added to percpu runqueues structure for doing
additional masking when user_cpus_ptr is set.

Check each performance domain to see if thermal pressure is causing its
capacity to be lower than another performance domain.
We assume that each performance domain has CPUs with the same
capacities, which is similar to an assumption made in energy_model.c
We also assume that thermal pressure impacts all CPUs in a performance
domain equally.
If there're multiple performance domains with the same capacity_orig, we
will trigger a capacity inversion if the domain is under thermal
pressure.
The new cpu_in_capacity_inversion() should help users to know when
information about capacity_orig are not reliable and can opt in to use
the inverted capacity as the 'actual' capacity_orig.

As reported by Yun Hsiang [1], if a task has its uclamp_min >= 0.8 * 1024,
it'll always pick the previous CPU because fits_capacity() will always
return false in this case.
The new util_fits_cpu() logic should handle this correctly for us beside
more corner cases where similar failures could occur, like when using
UCLAMP_MAX.
We open code uclamp_rq_util_with() except for the clamp() part,
util_fits_cpu() needs the 'raw' values to be passed to it.
Also introduce uclamp_rq_{set, get}() shorthand accessors to get uclamp
value for the rq. Makes the code more readable and ensures the right
rules (use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE) are respected transparently.

sched_nr_migrate_break is set to a fix value and never changes so we can
replace it by a define SCHED_NR_MIGRATE_BREAK.
Also, we adjust SCHED_NR_MIGRATE_BREAK to be aligned with the init value
of sysctl_sched_nr_migrate which can be init to different values.
Then, use SCHED_NR_MIGRATE_BREAK to init sysctl_sched_nr_migrate.
The behavior stays unchanged unless you modify sysctl_sched_nr_migrate
trough debugfs.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

Previously we only maintain task se depth in task_move_group_fair(),
if a !fair task change task group, its se depth will not be updated,
so commit eb7a59b2c888 ("sched/fair: Reset se-depth when task switched to FAIR")
fix the problem by updating se depth in switched_to_fair() too.
Then commit daa59407b558 ("sched/fair: Unify switched_{from,to}_fair()
and task_move_group_fair()") unified these two functions, moved se.depth
setting to attach_task_cfs_rq(), which further into attach_entity_cfs_rq()
with commit df217913e72e ("sched/fair: Factorize attach/detach entity").
This patch move task se depth maintenance from attach_entity_cfs_rq()
to set_task_rq(), which will be called when CPU/cgroup change, so its
depth will always be correct.

There's no good reason to crash a user's system with a BUG_ON(),
chances are high that they'll never even see the crash message on
Xorg, and it won't make it into the syslog either.
By using a WARN_ON_ONCE() we at least give the user a chance to report
any bugs triggered here - instead of getting silent hangs.
None of these WARN_ON_ONCE()s are supposed to trigger, ever - so we ignore
cases where a NULL check is done via a BUG_ON() and we let a NULL
pointer through after a WARN_ON_ONCE().
There's one exception: WARN_ON_ONCE() arguments with side-effects,
such as locking - in this case we use the return value of the
WARN_ON_ONCE(), such as in:
- BUG_ON(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags));
+ if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags)))
+ return;

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Various fixes: a deadline scheduler fix, a migration fix, a Sparse fix
and a comment fix"
* tag 'sched-urgent-2022-08-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/core: Do not requeue task on CPU excluded from cpus_mask
sched/rt: Fix Sparse warnings due to undefined rt.c declarations
exit: Fix typo in comment: s/sub-theads/sub-threads
sched, cpuset: Fix dl_cpu_busy() panic due to empty cs->cpus_allowed
There are several symbols defined in kernel/sched/sched.h but get wrapped
in CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, even though dummy versions get built in rt.c and
therefore trigger Sparse warnings:
kernel/sched/rt.c:309:6: warning: symbol 'unregister_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched/rt.c:311:6: warning: symbol 'free_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched/rt.c:313:5: warning: symbol 'alloc_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?
Fix this by moving them outside the CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED block.

This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2022.06.21a: Documentation updates.
fixes.2022.07.19a: Miscellaneous fixes.
nocb.2022.07.19a: Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to
be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS
and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel
boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering
with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms.
poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably
making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace
periods.
rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing
the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction
is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.
torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates.
ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into
context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to
kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution
for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is
expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

Load-balancing improvements:
============================
- Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads.
- Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing.
- Energy Model improvements: fix & refine all the energy fairness metrics (PELT),
and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6% energy savings to
migrate a task. Doing this improves power efficiency for most workloads,
and also increases the reliability of energy-efficiency scheduling.
- Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time searching
for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of several
milliseconds spent there on large systems with large workloads ...
[ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side effects. ]
- Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems
with spare capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic,
and such an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time,
hurting (and sometimes helping) performance.
The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime
NUMA balancing placement.
Note that some performance regressions were reported against this,
caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which benefit
from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel Gorman's
conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is better than
random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs:
"Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think it's
better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork time
and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit."
- Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in sched_core_update_cookie() that
caused unnecessary forced idling.
- Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs for newly
woken tasks.
- Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup latencies.
ABI improvements/fixes:
=======================
- Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial messages
when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such as increasing niceness.)
- Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too.
- Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags.
(No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the previous behavior.)
- Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags.
Optimizations:
==============
- Optimize & simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list()
- Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg().
Misc fixes & cleanups:
======================
- Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems.
- Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not being
re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a runqueue but there's
still SCHED_OTHER tasks around.
- Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes.
- Misc cleanups & smaller fixes.

effective_cpu_util() already has a `int cpu' parameter which allows to
retrieve the CPU capacity scale factor (or maximum CPU capacity) inside
this function via an arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu).
A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim
sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already.
But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS
wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced
by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions.
Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures,
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via
per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system.
On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant
(SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

Before being migrated to a new CPU, a task sees its PELT values
synchronized with rq last_update_time. Once done, that same task will also
have its sched_avg last_update_time reset. This means the time between
the migration and the last clock update will not be accounted for in
util_avg and a discontinuity will appear. This issue is amplified by the
PELT clock scaling. It takes currently one tick after the CPU being idle
to let clock_pelt catching up clock_task.
This is especially problematic for asymmetric CPU capacity systems which
need stable util_avg signals for task placement and energy estimation.
Ideally, this problem would be solved by updating the runqueue clocks
before the migration. But that would require taking the runqueue lock
which is quite expensive [1]. Instead estimate the missing time and update
the task util_avg with that value.
To that end, we need sched_clock_cpu() but it is a costly function. Limit
the usage to the case where the source CPU is idle as we know this is when
the clock is having the biggest risk of being outdated.
See comment in migrate_se_pelt_lag() for more details about how the PELT
value is estimated. Notice though this estimation doesn't take into account
IRQ and Paravirt time.
